Hailey Kinsel and Sister remain as iconic as ever. With minimal runs on the palomino mare, Kinsel picked up a win at the Woodward Elks Rodeo to warm up for the summer.
“It really was a warm-up run. It was my first outdoor run of the summer, to go to Woodward and I went there on my way to Vernal and further out west,” Kinsel said.
Sister ran at Old Fort Days Rodeo in Fort Smith, Arkansas and at the American Rodeo for her spring stops. The time off is paying off as the veteran equine athlete is firing on all cylinders this summer.
“She’s had very few runs this year and has come out just firing. So I try to have her as fit as possible to where she would stay sound but also be ready to show up and win,” she said.
The summer run unofficially kicks off with Reno Rodeo and you can catch it all on the Cowboy Channel and the Cowboy Channel Plus app.
